MCM Assembled

All Right! So here is our MCM, the most critical module that will help us in the competition!

please click to enlarge picture

Here is the 3D view of our machine. Looks pretty simple, but that's what we are trying to achieve! Simplicity is not to be overlooked, but rather be viewed as an art :) However, although the machine might look pretty simple, it was not as simple as we thought to manufacture it.

Here is the side view of the machine.......

And a closer look to the machine.......

Overall, we are proud of our MCM and it definitely worked out!

Future Objectives:

Now that the MCM is done, we have to move on to the manufacturing of our other module.

This will not be as easy as our MCM. Lots of process will be involved just to create that arm, and here is the materials that we will be using:

1. Aluminum Square Tube Stock - 1"x1", 1/8" Wall --- Rotating Arm



2. Aluminum Square Stock - 0.5"x0.5" --- Extendable Arm


3. Nylon rack, 24 pitch, 12" length --- Rack

4. Aluminum 90 Degree Angle Stock - 1"x1"x6', 1/8" thick --- Brackets


So stay tune for our machine and we will be able to finish it by next week!
